Not sure if he pushed the original measure but he was definitely instrumental in the compromise they attempted to insert into it.

That vote tally, though.

Can’t even articulate an actual critique. Definitely a cop.

Yup. Seems that way.

Totally, and the deal’s going to happen in two weeks. Definitely two weeks.

it becomes a form of censorship when snall websites and forums shut down because they don’t have the capacity to comply.

In this scenario that’s not a consideration.

We’re talking about algorithmically-driven content, which wouldn’t apply to Lemmy, Mastodon, or many mom-and-pop sized pages and forums. Those have human moderation anyway, which the big sites don’t. If you’re making editorial decisions by weighting algorithmically-driven content, it’s not censorship to hold you accountable for the consequences of your editorial decisions. (Just as we would any major media outlet.)

True.

Also important to remember that they can’t steal what you don’t put in the cloud.

These people need to be Nuremberged in the worst way.

It’s almost certainly programmed to find damage that doesn’t exist and price gouge you for it, but they haven’t found that sweet spot yet, where you can get people to pay more without putting up a fight.
